Strictly speaking, it is Nationalism (not politics). The Olympics has been used as a grand stage for political purposes (think the 1936 Berlin Summer Olympics) and also used for political purposes (think Jimmy Carter boycotting the Moscow Olympics in 1980) but the games themselves are not political. However, the entire format of the games is to promote competition based upon Nationalism. I think everyone should cut Frank some slack. Canadians have so little they can gloat over. :) :) :) -- Photographers must learn not to be ashamed to have their photographs look like photographs. ~ Alfred Stieglitz -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
